In taking that decision, the Special Committee recalled that, in its report to the General Assembly at its fifty-sixth session, it had stated that, subject to any directives that the Assembly might wish to give in that connection, it would continue, as part of its programme of work for 2002, to review the list of Territories to which the Declaration applied.
Al adoptar esa decisión, el Comité Especial recordó que, en su informe a la Asamblea General presentado en su quincuagésimo sexto período de sesiones, había señalado que, con sujeción a las directrices que la Asamblea pudiera formular a ese respecto, el Comité Especial continuaría examinando la lista de territorios a los que se aplicaba la Declaración como parte de su programa de trabajo para 2002.
